So what is it about the cell phone?
Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, the world has become a smaller and faster place. The time used to travel to far distances has decreased. The growth of new technologies, traveling and communicating has become simple daily tasks for many people. Through the growth of global communication, people have become closer to others across the globe, and business has gone world wide. One invention that came along with the technological revolution is the Cell Phone. Cell phones allow us to be reachable anywhere at anytime, letting us communicate even while traveling. As time becomes more valuable for people, the importance of accessibility to communication also increases.
The evolution of the mobile phone has allowed reducing their size and weight, since that first mobile phone in 1983 that weighed 780 grams, the current most compact with higher performance and service. The development of smaller batteries and longer, sharper screens and colors, incorporating more friendly software makes mobile phone a very appreciated in modern life. The advance of technology has made these devices incorporate features that not long ago seemed futuristic, like games, music playback MP3 and other formats, email, SMS, organizer PDAs, digital photography and digital video, video, Internet surfing and even digital television. The mobile carriers are already thinking about new applications for this small device that accompanies us everywhere. Some of these ideas are: payment method, location and identification of individuals. One must always take into account the great strides suffered from the first cell phone until today.
Actually, it is easy to live with cell phones most of the time, unless you are in a private place where you can’t use it. But, as many things, new technology brings some bad consequences. This paper will briefly discuss the development of cell phone and its uses along with the negative impact it can have on our health, or the effects could have being driving behind someone who is talking on their phone and not paying attention to the road. Either way they are in our lives to stay so we need to know whether they are safe and if they are not we need to learn to use them safely.
